My name is Liam, and I am a Scout from Gorleston.
I am an assistant patrol leader in the Tiger
Patrol, and this is the first time I have come to a Scout Jamboree.
There are thousands of Scouts and Guides from all
over the world at EuoJam. We're here to have adventures and make
friends.
Before I came I thought this camp was going to
be lots of small groups of tents, like little villages, but it's
different. It's like a big city of tents. It's really big and I
am enjoying myself doing things that I don't usually do.
So far I have made a picture tile and painted
a spoon with Scouts from Portugal and Turkey in the creative zone
in the Irish Euroville.
I played games with Scouts from Sweden in the Baltic
Euroville zone where we learnt about the cultures of other countries.
I sang a song on the Plaza Stage as part of a Talent Show called
Sound and Vision.
But, my favourite thing so far has been the work
I did at the Starburst project day when we helped the local community.
I learnt the history of a barn that was built in 1260 and made bird
boxes for the National Trust.
But the best bit was making wattle and daub walls
to display in the barn. I couldn't believe how long it took to build
a house in the past!
Before I leave EuroJam I am looking forward to
doing lots more activities and especially zorbing at Challenge Valley.
I thought before I came that 12 nights camping
was a long time to be at the Jamboree, but now I am here time is
flying by because I'm having fun. I know I will remember this for
a long time, maybe forever.
